Governance Assessment
- Strengths: Independent director; Audit Committee Chair and financial expert; clean related-party profile; strong election support; consistent attendance; RSU-based equity grants align with shareholder value creation.
- Considerations: Controlled company status reduces certain governance protections (non-fully independent nominating committee); co-founders’ ~89% voting control can override minority shareholder preferences.
- Compensation alignment: Director pay mix is balanced with modest cash retainer and time-based RSUs; no meeting fees or perquisites disclosed; change-in-control accelerates vesting for directors, a common market practice.
- Shareholder signals: 2025 say-on-pay passed comfortably (Votes For 343,910,023; Against 267,592; Abstentions 29,983), supporting overall compensation framework and governance.
